1. Biz - February 24 2010 (Answer ID: 4426)
A good answer to how your friends or coworkers describe you would be:

A word that my friends or coworkers would use to describe me is reliable. Both my friends and coworkers would say that I'm reliable, because of the fact that I'm the one that everyone calls. Whenever any of my friends have a problem I'm the friend they know will give them an honest answer, or be there to help them with whatever needs to be done. As far as my coworkers go, I am always the one who is called in. My previous employers knew that 95% of the time that they called me to come into work to cover someones shift, or just to help in general, I was there.

Paraphrase a testimony from a previous co-worker. "Rachael Smith, my co-worker at Livingston & Company, always said I was the most creative intern." Quoting colleagues will reiterate your strengths to the interviewer.

This is a great open ended question. All the other interview questions give you a chance to iterate your skills and ability, but this is the moment to shine a human aspect on the robot-worker you describe yourself to be. Here is a list of worth-mentioning qualities!

Humor, great energy, dedicated, easy going, honest, listener, considerate, organized, trustworthy.

If you copy these answers on an application form - the people reading it know you have just cut and paste off the internet. DON'T DO IT!!

When I read an application form like this - I don't invite the person for an interview.

The point of the application form is to get to know YOU as a person.

Good Luck!

Have a set of descriptive adjectives ready to describe yourself. Better yet, quote them. Make sure you give a non-personal, but detailed description of who these people are to you. To seal the deal, give example of a situation to show how you display these qualities. The more objective and non-biased you can convince the interviewer, the more they can trust the words of your friends/coworkers.

Everybody as a human wants to hear something good about themselves, Its a human tendency, if you say something good or bad about others then definitely you will get an answered in the same manner. So think about yourself before you say something.

of course like your web site however you have to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality on the other hand I will surely come back again.
